'Jesus was a man of color … murdered by law enforcement and state-sanctioned violence for insurrection against the Roman Empire,' says Rev. Lenny Duncan. 'That's not the average pastor in America. The average pastor in America placates the comforted.'

faith leaders

These pastors have completely aligned themselves with empire, the antithesis of the gospel of Jesus Christ. And it's mostly fueled by white supremacy. As soon as they heard that their communities were not going to bear the brunt of this pandemic, then they didn't care anymore. Before this pandemic, many of us have already been incredibly aware of the way that our health care system is a disaster for black communities.

We've always been able to weather this storm because America is so exceptional and it's the city on the hill, it's blessed and ordained by God. There's a lot of bulls*** in the name of Christian unity, where people will set aside the agenda of God in the name of Christian niceness. Christian niceness is a product of whiteness, and it's just as deadly as any of the other manifestations of white supremacy.The most compassionate action right now is intentional social distancing. That's what Jesus would be telling us to do if we were gathering.

White denominations need to show up, share their wealth and let people of color and street activists lead. They need to get connected to leaders on the ground and pour all their resources into bail funds and providing food and water. The church has lost our place in society and given up our opportunity to be leaders. But we can be chaplains to the revolution. We can offer spiritual care and comfort to those who are going to change this country and who I truly believe are sent by God.

Jesus was a Jew so yes he was a man of color. Christians have a hard time acknowledging it. Have you ever read Martin Luther’s pamphlet “On the Jews & Their Lies?” In it he says “ We are at fault for not slaying them.” (By “them” he means Jews.

What an idiot, Jesus was murdered to prevent a riot from insurrection it’s and chose to free a convict murderer (barabus) rather than a free thinker who preached love and equality (Jesus). BLM are the angry crowd demanding Jesus’ death and demanding freedom for scumbags.

Are Arabs black?

Become an orthodox Christian and repent of your heresies

The man has a black supremacy symbol on his sash. He is not worth taking seriously.

He wasn't executed for 'insurrection against the Roman Empire'. The Romans found him innocent but Pilot executed Him anyway because he didn't want a riot (Matthew 27:24). A major theme of the Passion narrative is that Jesus was innocent and didn't commit any crimes.

When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out saying, “Crucify him, crucify him.” Pilate saith unto them, “Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.” Doesn’t sound like a *State* threat to me...

Jesus was found to be guilt-less by Pontius Pilate (& thus the Roman Legal system) & was only executed because the Jewish Pharisees & Sadducess demanded He be murdered for 'blasphemy' because He proclaimed the truth that He IS God. So kindly go screw yourself, NPR.

“...keep ur eye on those who cause dissensions & hindrances contrary to the [Gospel], & turn away from them. For such men r slaves, not of our Lord Christ but of their own appetites; & by their smooth & flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting” Romans 16

Holy shit take

I guess Jesus was a man of color only murdered by the Satanist within the Roman empire still ruled today and where it proudly when Nancy pelosi says she prays it's not to God almighty it's to her satanic cabal many of the Democrat know this Chelsea Clinton wears it out in public

Not EVEN close to the truth. Jesus is a Jew. Read The Book.

No, it's pretty clear that Rome/Pilate wanted nothing to do with Christ's death but gave into the pressure from the Sanhedrin and the Pharisees.

Nope, not how it went down...but I’ve actually read the Bible...

Ummmm no, that is incorrect

Well, Jesus was probably of olive skin tone (not that it matters), but Jesus allowed himself to be killed so that all sinners can have redemption. This is nothing but eiscegesis and not actually proclaiming scripture or the gospel.

This pastor is a liar. Do not trust this man.

He was a Jew killed by Roman legionaries on behalf of the Jewish clerical establishment.

It's NPR !!! Fake News !!! The Great Awaking has begun!!! WWG1WGA

None of this was true.

The tribe that killed Jesus should be reminded of their past racism and privilege. Time to remove them from the country! We don't need any more racism from them! BlackLivesMattters

Separation of church and state

How does the 'minister' know that Jesus was a 'man of color'? Has he ever seen Him? Does he know anyone who has ever seen Him? Has he examined the DNA on the Shroud of Turin? Is anyone alive who saw Jesus firsthand? Stop exploiting Jesus for your anti-white race war.

Jesus was a Nazarene-Hebrew. And so were his accusers. This is common knowledge to theologians around the world. I’m from EAfrica. WE don’t claim he’s Black. I very much doubt this guys has proper Bible education and NPR you sound real ignorant with this.

This society blasphemies Christ with such depictions as this, that was never true. There is no respect for God here, this society hates God, hates truth, hates all that is good. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

Jesus didn't burn businesses or harm people.

NPR is trash.

Jesus was crucified to appease the mob who demanded a criminal be set free and that innocent Jesus be crucified. The Roman state didn't fear Jesus. The cowardly state official just tried to appease the mob. Never submit to mob.

Idk Reverend there might have been another *group of people* who you are disaffiliating from their heavy involvement lol

Crack open a Bible to fact check this guy. Jesus was executed for claiming he was God.

What kind of sick joke is this? 😂😂

Does anybody bother actually READING the Gospels and taking them at face value?

I'm not even religious and I'm disgusted by this heresy.

Historically illiterate morons abusing the Bible for their own personal politics in 57473939373 different ways simultaneously is the single greatest argument against the Reformation

Lenny needs to hear the gospel

What a stupid “Reverend”. Unfit to preach the word of God. Jesus was murdered by a mob that the Romans bowed down to. The moral of the story is to resist the mob.

So this is what you decide to tweet. Interesting.

Guess he never read the Bible - romans only executes Jesus at the insistence of an angry mob whipped up by a corrupt religious class...

Actually I killed Jesus. So did everyone else whose blood was spilled to cover. It was all planned ahead.

You can post this only because everyone at NPR is biblically illiterate, probably regularly illiterate as well

Jesus also willingly died for our sins. Speakin as an average American pastor, I’m not called to do that.

I am sorry to inform you “pastor” but the insurrectionist was released to the crowd while they cried crucify the innocent Christ

Galatians 1 would apply here...Paul would have some words for you “pastor”... you will be accountable for every person you lead astray to this false “gospel”

I care nothing regarding the amount of melanin in Christ’s skin...I care for his atoneing work on the cross..as to “murdered by law enforcement...” you might want to read “pastor” —John 10:18ff would be as good a place as any to start.

The 'man of color' stuff is weird. Normally that's used to signify a minority class. He wasn't.

But it was the Jewish rulers - His own people - who handed Him to the Romans, since Jews, under Roman law, were not permitted to execute people.

Jesus was found innocent, but the mob demanded his death. You left that little tiny major detail out.

Jesus never existed.

Ummmm...no.

Poor Lenny Duncan, he knows not of what he speaks. Jesus came to die. 1 Timothy 1:15

You are SO WRONG. Pick up the Bible- and read the four different accounts of The Passion.

That’s a very irresponsible thing to say, especially for a rev.!

Yeah. That’s all a lie, actually. Jesus was a Jew, not a man of color, and law enforcement wanted to let him go. Cultists. 😞

It’s obvious that no one has ever read a word of the Bible. Apparently neither has this pastor!

Incorrect . Jesus was found innocent by the Roman government. He was executed to appease the angry mobs who would riot if they didn't get what they wanted. Pontius Pilate practically begged them not to demand jesus's life as he could find no crime committed.

This is lie. NPR is crap.

While Jesus was Middle Eastern, 'race' as we know it was completely irrelevant as to why they killed him. Also, we don't know what his skin-color would have been. There were light-skin people there (look at many Syrians for example) and there were many dark-skin people there too.

Divisive, hate stoking lie. Doing the devil’s work. Jesus was found NOT GUILTY. Then they handed Him over the bloodthirsty mob. Kind of like what we’re seeing on the far left & their burning cities.

Certainly couldn't call Jesus a Jew, that wouldn't do.

Divisive, hate stoking lie. Doing the devil’s work. Jesus was found NOT GUILTY. Then they handed Himmover the bloodthirsty mob. Kind of like what we’re seeing on the far left & their burning cities.

🤮🤮. Except for when the Jewish cancel culture arrested him for going against their narrative. Except for when the Roman, Pilate, said I find no guilt in him. Except for when Jesus made it clear he was laying down his life for his brothers (of all nations). Read the NT, losers

When Jesus returns He is going to destroy all of the wicked and unrepentant liars, thieves, homosexuals, cowards,and murderers! Repent now! He’s the lamb now, but the Roaring Lion when He returns! Praise God!

Wrong. Every word of that was completely and utterly incorrect.

A regular Savanarola...

No, Jesus was killed to placate the mob. The Romans could find nothing to charge him with and wanted to let him go. The mob wanted 'justice' so they Romans had him murdered. This 'pastor' needs to read the actual Scriptures.

None of this is true.

This is not even close to the message of the Gospels.🤦 A straightforward reading of the crucifixion account shows the the Roman official found no reason to execute Jesus, but GAVE IN TO THE WILL OF THE MOB STIRRED UP BY JEALOUS RELIGIOUS LEADERS. JUST READ THE TEXT.

You’re wrong and a heretic Christian!

Apparently he never read the Bible.

Lol, the absolute state of politicized American Protestantism

Incredibly stupid analogy, but hey, he’s a Pastor and NPR loves this stuff. Get my tax dollars out of this!

“No one”killed Jesus...we all did....He is the sacrifice for our sin...so this is not the Gospel. This is a message seeking a pound of flesh that will never be satisfied because Jesus isn’t allowed to be Savior.

That's a lie, the authority found Jesus innocent while the MOB cried out for his death.

Did this man actually read the gospels or did he skip over the parts that show Jesus far to complex to fit this description. Do you really think that God himself would be so simple?

Christ was killed to appease an unruly and out of control mob. Yes, the Roman authorities did carry out the execution but at the request of mob since Jewish law prohibited them (The Sanhedrin) from caring out executions during Passover.

This pastor needs to read the Bible

Wonder what Bible he is reading.....

No, the Jewish mob killed him because he claimed he was the son of God. Rome said he had done nothing illegal.

'Jesus was a man of color'

He was white and he was actually found innocent by the Romans but they killed him anyways to appease the angry mob that was calling for his death

Why are tax dollars going to this platform?

Uhhh...okay, but to use today as analogy, it would be the mobs in the street being oppressed by the state who were demanding his death.🤷🏼‍♂️

This just goes to show that people don't read the bible this is a lie for the pit of hell

Jesus was killed to appease a Jewish mob.

“Reverend” sure you are...

Oh, come on. Has this guy even read the Bible? I know you’ve given up on real journalism, but why share this garbage. This clown is about self promotion and selling his book.

Jews had it done

Not why he was killed but nice try

Oh ffs

His Kingdom wasn't of this world!!!!!

I didn’t know Jews are considered people of color. Or is this a black Jesus thing.

That is a very silly argument.

This 'pastor' has no idea what is in scripture.

This pastor has added/twisted the biblical account. He came unto his own and his own received him not. Pilot found no fault in Jesus but because the Jews wanted Jesus dead the Roman's killed him.

LOL

ignorance is quite the thing these days, isn't it 🙄

1PhD_engineer He was divisive. Subversive. A trouble maker. That’s why they had to kill him.

actually spies of the elite tried to frame him for insurrection, when that didn't work they incited a mob and demanded that he be killed

Jesus wasn’t murdered. He willingly laid down His life, and He took it up again.

Would you kindly take the Rev. from your name until you educate yourself and get the hate out of your heart. You're an embarrassment to real Christians.

Jesus was middle eastern, if were going to get technical. That said, why does it matter? It was the mob that wanted him dead. They were given a choice to free him or the criminal, they chose the criminal. Then they called “crucify him” when asked what to do with Him.

Murdered do to fear of the mob and rioting. He was judged innocent by the Roman empire. His own people said he was guilty.

Jesus wasn't killed because of an insurrection. He was killed to please a mob, and a bunch of crooked politicians. He also taught us to work for what we have, to give our OWN things to those in need, not to steal & destroy others' property.

Could you guys go appropriate Islam or Judaism for a change? It's getting really old.

False. [Pilate] told them, “I find no crime in him' (John 18:38). Murdered is correct. Jesus was innocent. You can't murder a man who is guilty - it would be an execution.

Jesus was a tan man, murdered by his own people thru the state by threats of civil unrest by those who where his people. And like it or not Jesus did not die for George Floyd being murdered, but for the sin of murdering George Floyd. He also died for George Floyd's sin.

Jesus was a Jew killed by the Romans at the demand of other Jews.

George Floyd stuck a gun in the belly of a pregnant woman while his doped up friends robbed her house. George Floyd was a career criminal and did porn. Yeshua is the Son of God Almighty. Your comparison is offensive.

What? He was murdered because the *mob* demanded it.🤦🏻‍♀️

Just goes to show you lack of religious knowledge... Jesus was literally murdered by the mob. He was initially released by the Romans

Racist talk here.

The crowd or mob cried crucify, not the Romans

NPR, you are just gross now.

Logical fallacy: false equivalence, comparing two situations and creating an equivalence where none exists

Hahahahah

You can’t remove all religion from the life of Jesus lol nicetry

They called him Rabbi Should Bernie disavow his Antifa bros?

Christ was NOT murdered. He literally laid his life down. The idea that COVID affected blacks disproportionately is intellectually dishonest. Look at LA. We're told blacks are 32% of the population but 60% of deaths. But the majority of cases & deaths were around New Orleans....

This is bs. Pontius Pilate was blackmailed with rebellion if he didn’t execute Jesus.

He was of the line of King David.

Jesus was murdered by the Pharisees, and he was not a man of color.

Wow Lenny sucks at history ... liberalismisacult

Correction npr Roman authorities aka police found Jesus innocent of the insurrection charge. It was the mob aka the Jews who wanted him dead. Never bend to the mob. 💁🏽‍♀️

This guy has no idea what he's talking about.

Jesus was killed by J*ws.

Thou shalt not take the Lord’s name in vain Thou shalt not bear false witness

This man does not know Jesus. Therefore he cannot know peace.

1). Jesus was a middle eastern man... Look at the jews/arabs, what colour are they? 2). Roman authorities found Jesus innocent.. They killed him anyway to appease the mob. This is why angry mobs should not be heeded or appeased.

I'll just...leave this here:

Ok sure. What won't the Left politicize? So far: everything. You're gonna hate the America you think you are improving. shitshow

Crack a book

FOR insurrection? Literally no.

He was murdered at the demands of the mob incited by the High Priest Caiaphas and his cohorts.

Rev Larry is ignorant about Jesus and what happened. He should be defrocked.

Pull your funding

Jesus was not murdered by the police. You're dying for attention aren't you?

Ahh no.

BLM is super Christian bro...

He was killed by Jews. They brag about it in the Talmud

LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder

Why do I pay taxes if it just goes to this shit?

I can't believe in 2000 years races and locations of races have never changed and everyone 2000 years ago in the middle east was an Arab, I think I saw something that Greek Christians used to be in Turkey, that might have been fake news tho.

You people are gonna burn in hell

Wait till he learns about Jesus causing the temple to split into two 🙄

Insurrection? Seriously? Rev idiot

Wow, he got that all wrong.

Blasphemy is a serious sin.

Jesus death was not about racism or law-enforcement. His crucifixion was in the plan of God, that’s why he came here, he himself declared that no man took his life, that he laid it down in obedience to His Father’s will so that we can be forgiven of our sins thru his shed blood

NPR is an authority on Jesus now? Up next:: Michael Moore's tips on weight loss.

How long did you have to search to find a “Pastor” who doesn’t read the Bible?

And yet today it's only leftist mobs marching in the streets that I could see shouting, 'crucify him, crucify him!'

Well except that’s not what happened! 🤦🏽‍♂️

Ummm... The entire headline of the article is FALSE. Holy moly, he should read the Bible again.

It’s sad that a pastor can’t even bother to read and understand the text he’s preaching 🙄

Jesus died for our sins. George died for a counterfeit $20 bill.

Jesus wasent killed by law enforcement. He willfully give up his life for humanity. He could have destroyed all his enemies in a snap of a finger if he wanted to.

Jews order state to kill righteous man They capitulate Many such cases

Wow, who was it that handed him over to the Romans?

This is bullshit

And who were pressuring Roman law enforcement to carry out the harshest possible sentence?

No one and I mean no one in this thread agreeing with this tripe has actually sat down and read the gospel nor do they care

Try reading it again. He was a Jew.

If there is no change to police behavior in my nation then there is no true justice.

CHlMPKJV

Actually Jesus was murdered by a vigilant mob.

NPR, you don't give a crap about Christianity. Don't even try.

When was the last time the Reverend read the New Testament? Jesus definitely wasn't crucified for insurrection against Rome. This is just really sad and tragic.

I think this reverend failed Theology 101

Uhhh......Jesus was found innocent but they decided to kill him anyway in exchange for another prison being released to please the violent mob.

Lol that’s so wrong.

...no, He wasn't. There is absolutely no hint in the Scriptures that He was crucified for insurrection against Rome. Pilate even wanted to free Him. Everyone, reject this fool. He knows nothing.

Uhh no. He was actually found innocent of the insurrection charges by the Romans. You should know this 'reverend'

lennyaduncan You torture both history and the Word of God in service of your racism. Shameful. “empire, the antithesis of the gospel of Jesus Christ.” Just wrong. The Gospel is about being in the right empire, ruled by the true emperor, whether you’re white or black.

This is factually incorrect.

Of course that’s a bunch of horse shit but thanks for the fictional story hour.

Give me a break damn it

😶

Killed by the Romans at the request of the mob......mob rule kills

That’s the dumbest thing I have seen so far! Jesus was a JEW! He was from the Middle East! He was almost certainly brown! What the heck does it matter?! It was ALSO HIS PLAN!!! Was that in his message? He also said: FORGIVE THEM THEY NO NOT WHAT THEY DO?! Preach TRUTH!Not DISCORD

He obviously hasn’t read the Holy Bible. Jesus was charged and was demanded be put to death by his own people! Giv jyst appeased to keep the peace. We should never repeat that history. Judgment not appeasement.

Really, the mindless mob was the one killing Jesus...

You should try checking out the Bible. You can actually get a very good idea of Jesus Christ’s character and every situation he was in. Seek justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with your Lord.

Damn, someone really wrote a whole article on a 3 year olds understanding of the Gospel

NPR and God? When did NPR become a faith based organization? Oh yeah, it's not. It's pc to attack whitey today and if whitey has privilege to believe anything than whatever it is has to be wrong. Thanks NPR. DefundNPR that's a trend we can all live with

Well, Larry Duncan is an idiot

Obviously didn't read the story. The gov said he didn't do anything and waahes their hands of him, the mob killed him for wrong think.

NPR is shit

Nonsense. Jesus was found without fault by Pilate. The Jewish mob insisted upon His death. Jesus never burned anything down or encouraged violence of any kind. He supported the local Roman police. He has nothing in common with BLM, but he does love all people.

It’s like you’ve never read the Bible with this nonsense.

What seminary did this idiot study the Bible?

No guys Jesus was handed over to the mob and they killed him. Of course they want to run Christian stuff when fit there agenda.

People that claim Jesus was a socialist, I ask the question, show me in the Bible that says confiscate the labor of one to give to another?

This is wrong on soooo many levels. You obviously never read the Bible

The mob was Sadjucees and Pharisees that rioted until the Roman Emperor decided to appease them. He tried to give them Barabus but they wanted Jesus dead. Mob rule

Jesus was the son of God*

One difference is: when Jesus’s best friend tried to start a riot, He put a stop to it immediately.

He was arrested and condemned to death by the sanhedrin.

Jesus was killed by MAN, all men are flawed. That’s the WHOLE point of the WHOLE STORY. 🤦🏻‍♀️

But Jesus never looted a Walmart

I would be angry, but this kind of skewing of the Bible for political gain, has become common place since Martin Luther nailed his thesis on the Wittenberg church.

He was killed to appease a mob Pilate wanted nothing to do with him and absolved himself of any responsibility

BWAAAAA HAAA HAAA HAAA HAAA HAAA HAAA HAAA HAAA HAAA HAAA HAAA HAAA HAAA HAAA HAAA

He was murdered by the Roman governor because Jewish priests demanded it.

That's inaccurate....

Duncan doesn't know his Bible. He wasn't put down for insurrection, that was a false charge. He was crucified because of a false charge of blasphemy. Don't listen to guys like him teaching a false gospel.

This clown of a reverend needs to pick up a bible.

Actually Jews and arabs are white, not poc. White is literally defined in the law specifically to include them

This is so theologically idiotic that it should disqualify one from ever speaking on the subject.

Well, Jesus was of Middle Eastern dissent so he definitely wasn’t a white boy. Doesn’t matter color of his skin. His message is the key.

This government funded agency is trying to impose a theocracy.

“Murdered by law enforcement” Man this is bullshit. He was betrayed by his own follower, arrested by the Romans, found innocent by Pilate, but given the death penalty in order to stop riots.

This guy is a reverend?

Nice tat

A more apt analogy to today would be a black man, maybe Larry Elder, who says he doesn’t buy what BLM is selling, and a mob of black people drag him out of his house and demand that the governor of Minnesota execute him in place of Mumia abu Jamal.

Got news for you. Jesus was the same color as the rest of the Jews. And the religious Jews had him killed, not the Romans. Might want to actually read that thing you profess.

Read the Bible.

He was actually a ✡️ murdered by other ✡️

Thats a pastor that hasnt read the New Testament

Matthew 7:15 King James Version (KJV) 15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

NPR, bastion of measured judgment, weighs in on the crux of Christian theological concerns: “Jesus was an African-American Black Supremacist”

This pastor needs to have his title revoked. It wasn’t state-sanctioned. The roman governor wanted nothing to do with that. It was the Jewish mob that wanted him crucified for blasphemy. Not insurrection against Rome. Pilate literally said he washes his hands of it.

The Pharisees demand Jesus be crucified, they paid the Romans to do it. He was not crucified under Roman law but but the mob who wanted him dead.

Then he came back to life. 🙄

NPR should be defunded.. why are we paying for this garbage?

Doesn't matter what color He was, just that His blood was red, and was shed for the remission of my sins. AMEN. Praise the Lord.

Wrong...John 10:17 & 18 Jesus CLEARLY says He laid down He's own life of His own volition. It WAS NOT taken from Him.

Jesus wasn't executed for being a 'person of color' (a phrase you won't find anywhere in the Bible) nor for insurrection. He was found not guilty. He was crucified to placate peaceful protesters.

Jesus was a Semitic Jew who was murdered by his own blood brethren - other Semitic Jews. The Romans were NOT responsible for his trial, conviction, or execution.

Nope ! Not the facts

Try more like the mob

Who cares what Mr. Lenny the Heretic says? for the truth

Delete your account.

blessed are the meek. give unto caesar what is caesar's. but this lil pastor didn't ever go to sunday school did he

Lol. How can the state 'murder' someone for insurrection which is illegal and warrants the death penalty? Language matters. Not that it matters, but that version of events is incorrect.

It wasn't the Roman Empire.

This is so wrong. But you can’t expect anything else from some filthy prot

Jesus was a Med killed by a Med state at the demand of his Med co-ethnics

Ah npr, I see your spreading lies again.

Ethnonarcissism and lying about Christ. I guess when all you have is a race you gotta be proud of it.

This is very interesting. I keep hearing he was not white Jesus

Except Pilate did everything in his power to see Jesus released in spite of the fact two of his closest associates were a terrorist and an assassin who were fighting to expel the Romans.

Jesus was put to death for claiming Himself equal with God. This in absolutely no way justifies burning down cities. This comparison is completely false

good thing I’m Catholic and I know you have zero authority

How can you be a preacher and be this wrong about how and why Jesus was crucified?

Most sources agree that Roman authorities actually tried to let him off. It was an unruly mob of his own people that threatened the Romans with violence and forced their hand. “Give us Barabbas!”

It was for blasphemy....

LMFAO, this is a clown take. Delet

The Roman Empire didn't care. He was executed by them at the behest of their vassal the Kingdom of Israel for blasphemy.

He was actually put to death because the Jews say he blasphemed and then demanded Pilate execute Him or they’d riot.

Gee, that Lenny Duncan is quite the maroon!

There's no proof that Jesus was 'a person of color'. A completely fabricated claim.

DeAndrePatter15 Jesus was divisive alright! He went after the religious establishment...boom!

Jesus was a Jew condemned by his fellow Jews. The Romans killed him on their behalf to appease a mob. Sound familiar? I also love how Jews are and are not white & are and are not 'PoC' depending on the needs of the speaker. Schrodinger's minority.

This man is a charlatan.

shaunking If we're talking fairy tales then we should probably throw in Harry Potter and Spiderman too. Good grief! We need to evolve as a species.

Has he even read the New Testament?

Yes

You don’t know the Bible buddy! It was the Jews that voted to imprison Jesus.

He was a Jew who BLM leadership happens to hate. Preach that sermon. The anti-Semitic inconvenient truth behind BLM

shaunking Thank you. Everyone else:

Totally false statement!

shaunking Another race baiter spreads hate. Awesome. We don't need your kind. Leftist will be voted out of office and love and prosperity will prevail.

This is completely incorrect...

👎

Sorry to disagree, but Jesus was a creation by the Romans to pacify Jewish zealotry. The New Testament is nothing by cherry picking the Old Testament to fulfill prophesies. Take the writings of Paul and his cronies out of the NT, and there won’t be one.

He might need to actually read the Bible. If that's all Jesus is, then he is worshipping a useless, man made god. Not the actual God of the universe.

Yep. My color.

Wrong wrong wrong and more wrong. Who uses this kind of language? This isn’t even close to who or what Jesus is and does.

This is a wrong way of presenting the gospel. Jesus was not black and not killed because of color. He was middle eastern and was killed because he was causing religious unrest. Was he wrongfully killed? Maybe but it had nothing to do with race as the Jewish leaders had him killed

shaunking It's hard to listen to someone that had such poor judgement to get a neck tattoo.

starlightshine7 A-bleepin'-Men, Preacher.

Typical aggressive, colonial Christian message.

shaunking This is not new information 🤦🏿‍♀️🤦🏿‍♀️

Jesus creations

shaunking What if you’re Jewish though

Are Jews generally considered 'people of color' to Black Lives Matter, I wonder? 🤔

Oh I’ve seen this guy before

Literally “Peace is war” Propaganda

So jesus was black and jewish and walked on water? Got it

shaunking And the people choose to release Barabas a criminal rather than upset the status quo

magnetmill So instead of doing the standard televangelist grift, he's doing this. Magically, it still ends with him taking $ from another party and transferring it to his.

ServantDreamer Republicans would crucify Jesus all over again if given the chance.

Thisishowispeak Jesus was killed for spreading the word of god and was sold out by one of his disciples not because of his color but of what he promoted

Have you sought psychiatric help? Tablets?

Sadly I think this pastor is more interested in politics than in the Gift Jesus brought to us. Salvation is greater than any melanin density’s liberation theology. Salvation only knows one color. His blood ran red.

america isnt perfect, Jesus needs to come back for that.

'Neither man nor woman, jew or greek, bond or free, all are equal in the eyes of God. ' GALATIONS. In Christ we are all equal. That is what the founding of this country is on. First in the world to stand up to a king and give power to the people over govt.

shaunking Jesus rebuked Peter for attempting to resist arrest and condemned violent revolution against Rome even though that was the expectation of first century Jews As long as we're playing anachronistic games

shaunking making him black does not make him real !

Agreed

As twisted and convoluted an interpretation of Christianity, & historically inaccurate as can be. Jesus was Jewish therefore we're all people of color. To compare Him to thugs w long criminal histories is blasphemous. His death, the result of 'religious' conspiracy by Jews.

Obviously this man has issues. And so do you for searching him out to throw controversy amoung Christians

Jesus was a socialist and have always seen his message of love compassion and righteousness as political. I have no problem with this Pastors teachings and hope it wakes up all them other so called Christians.

It's all Ham's fault, I tells you! If he hadn't found his drunk ass dad, naked on a beach, we wouldn't have needed all that systematic genocide and hatred in Palestine, either. But, justification is justification... anyone have a Sheeple to sacrifice? Oy.

And this is “news”, why?

Hey, let's keep making everything about race instead of corruption and humanity issues. That seems to have been working since the beginning of society. 🤷‍♂️

He ain't wrong.

He’s telling the truth. Also the teachings of Christ are what we call “Liberalism”. Facts matter.

He would not have been killed if he was not betrayed by the people closest to him.

If memory serves me right it was the mob wanting Jesus killed, not law enforcement. The mob smiled as he was being escorted to his death. Rev Lenny Duncan, tell it right, you lied or you don't know your scripture.

Sorry NPR, this pastor is waaaaaaay off base . Jesus has no interest in an insurrection against Rome. That pastor doesn’t actually believe the Bible . He is just as bad as white evangelical right wing extremists.

The religious right manipulated the Romans into assassinating him. It was Church AND State. Don’t cover that up, Reverend.

If I'm not badly mistaken, the 'people chose' Barabbas over Jesus. Then he was murdered by the government. The propaganda deliverd by the high priests and the government directed the choice of the people. Right?

But he didn't burn riot and loot now did he?

How come I’m the only one that would be put in a mental asylum if I believed someone walks on Water or turns water into booze, but everyone else gets to believe whatever they want pretty much ?

Theyd use the “new” weapons on Jesus today. Use him as a guinea pig.

TheSydneyA Yes - thank you. The cutural and religious authorities mocked him, rejected him, arrested him on trumped up charges and hung him up to die for all to see.

Wait until people find out St. Augustine was African.

joecimperman I can’t begin to express how rediculous this is. But I guess today it counts as a valid point. Wow, standards of reason have plummeted. Those running the show must be so happy they’ve accomplished this.

Shitttttttt

Bro..calm the fuck down with the law enforcement shit. I didnt know Rome PD killed Jesus. Maybe the BLM bible has a revisionist view of what happened back then.

And Christ did not speak one word of rebellion against Roman authority. That Pastor is uneducated. Christ preached hardcore against the Jews, not Rome. Every part of his criticisms of authority were directly against the Jews.

In fact, the town Mary was born in was a Greek Gentile settlement. The entire region was very Greek influence heavy. Saying Jesus looked like modern demographics is like saying Sitting Bull was an Irishman.

The reason Jews ignore the 400 years before Christ is that period resulted in massive cultural and demographic change. The Hellenization of Judea. Very Greek culture during that time. They call it Galilee of the Gentiles for a reason.

🤔

None of that was true. Jesus was born of Mary and the Holy Spirit. Jesus was killed by the Jews. Pilate found no guilt in Christ. Jews said, 'His blood be on us and our children'. So, Jesus was temporarily killed by mob hysteria.

Tell The 'pasture' to stick it.

kinsellawarren How do you know what colour he was.....did you see him?

And you feel compelled to write this now, to pour gasoline on the fire? defundNPR

Grew up in UK. The concept of Jesus as a political activist has been widely taught in the Church of England for half a century. There may be more to the story, but as a man, he was certainly that.

Black Lives Matter was founded by 3 Marxist-Leninists. You cannot mix Jesus Christ with marxist ideology (i.e. atheism). Impossible.

Any 'Pastor' who claims Jesus was 'murdered' immediately discredits themselves and reveals their elementary understanding of theology. Jesus wasn't murdered. He gave his life.

That's a lot closer to the truth, than the Jews killed Jesus of Nazareth.

Has this Reverend ever actually read the New Testament?

If he’s trying to say Jesus was African he’s way off, Jesus was not white, he wasn’t black either, he had olive skin, He was the son of God. what difference does his skin make? Apparently that’s all that matters these days is skin color. Personally I’m sick of hearing about it.

He's hardly a pastor; invoking the name of Jesus Christ to sound relevant. Trash.

And here you go again. Trying to spread division. AP you should truly be ashamed. Your trying to cause chaos and hatred.

Almost the one year anniversary. 6/23/19 Dont let his life be in vain thinblueline

Jesus was a Jew, from the lineage of King David.

White people arent mentioned in the scriptures.

Rerun of the article to continue race baiting to keep the people's focus while politicians conquer and divide. NPR has lost all respect from me.

YUP that's my Jesus ❤

Jesus also told people in the community to stop sinning. Tell the black community to get its act together pastor!

Insurrection? What? Jesus was never in open revolt against Rome, even stating, 'Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's' & 'My kingdom is not of this world'. How can a pastor not know this?

I think its so funny when they say he was black. Who knows what he was. In that area, he was probably middle eastern.. looked like a saudi.

Truth.

Well yeah, he was Middle Eastern. That's what the the most recent carbon dating scientific evidence indicates. He was not Caucasian.

He's put a new twist on Jesus's message.

Powerful, and true

Wow. Strange words from a clergy member. That’s a hard pass from me ...

All Americans should try not to commit crimes and then try to resist, escape or fight the cop, after, 99% of the problems.

This is a ridiculous statement. Jesus did not lead an insurrection against Rome. Quite the opposite. He stated he was not there to deliver the Jeweish from Rome. Jesus came to establish the eternal temple of God, and to die for our sins. Don't get it twisted.

Well, here was actually Caucasian Jewish....

Sorry the Jewsish Rabbis made Poncious Pilate to kill Jesus. Pastor can you not read

First humans on earth were from Africa and frankly our Elders on the earth are the tiredest of mean people, even in Amerhica their are the meanest people on Earth, Trump is a great example of Mean.

JonathanLanday Jesus was a liberal.

Jesus Christ is God, and He won’t be mocked. He will judge everyone of us. It would be good to have Him in your heart, not use Him as a political tool.

NPR joins a hate filled demagogue pushing that somehow law enforcement is killing blacks. NPR knows the empirical data does not support this assertion.

Jesus gave up his life voluntarily as atonement for sin, according to God's plan and will. He could have called angels for protection or used His own power of deliverance but he did not. He was the acceptable sacrifice. Jesus was apolitical. He is the Savior & Redeemer of all.

Just another dumb*ss pastor twisting the gospel for his own ends. Jesus Christ was God the Son who chose to incarnate in our world to atone for our sinfulness and reconcile us to God. He was not a social justice warrior. He laid down his life deliberately. He was not a victim.

A wise man once said, “Tell me who Jesus Christ is & I’ll tell you how far you’ll go.” Your article affirmed that this pastor & whomever at NPR posted it possess a cursory knowledge of JC based on leftist theology.

Jesus was a jew, jews are white and catholicism was forced onto slaves by white europeans. Blacks were taught aggressively & sometimes sadisticly to praise a white God & forget their african deities. Let’s start by talking about that reverend duncan

jesús was jewish, jews are white

Jesus was a Jew.

When have you seen a black Jew? Even if they are distinct and none white, they look white enough. Besides, many middle easterns are racially white, like Iranians, Syrians and Lebanese people. This is an ignorant statement that will only fly in the USA.

Jesus actually died willingly and the sin of the world was the guilty party...however, Pharisees like this guy who use worldly methods sure helped it along.

Remember..the Bible was put together by a Caucasian king and his people.

What a racist!

Jesus didn't say he was here to unite us, Luke 12:51-53.

Jesus could have been a lot of colors, including white. Jews had a significant presence in Alexandrian Egypt and were allowed to intermarry with non-Jews. Very possible he was a multi-racial.

When you know where did your color came from and why then you can talk about yourself But if you want to know the difference or distinction Read Lamentations 4:7,8

critigal1 'Jesus was a man of color' ... I'm sorry but can I see a photo of him. Cool if he was, just wondering where you got your information from.

Indeed

Well, that’s not really why Jesus died but go ahead with that narrative if it suits your agenda.

He left out that He was murdered by law enforcement at the behest of the church 💁🏽‍♀️... tell the WHOLE story or SHUT UP ... we don’t have time ....

He got killed for his beliefs and “power” not the color of his skin.

Can the Jesus narrative go away already?! It hasn’t helped not one cause!

When U.S.A. (United States of America) has become D.S.A. (Divided States of America ) under this Unprecedented person we call our president what do you expect from We the People the true owners of this land?

Jesus was not resisting arrest or looting or rioting

Jesus was a young Jewish rabbi, actually.

What is clear is people blaming this group or that group, roman or jew, on guilty party is truly ignorant. God had to do it to balance the equation. God gave us choice, imo His greatest gift. Choice comes error. Errors in humanity cause sep from God. Imperfect unequal to perfect

He also said turn the other cheek and forgive forgive forgive.

Jesus preached love and forgiveness. Something the tRump administration doesn't understand.

Wrong.

Evangelicals or Catholics or whomever support hatred and intolerance , how can you bring people to the Gospel? Aren’t we supposed to go out and preach the good news? You can’t serve God and mammon. Period.

High npr Before stating facts, plz research them 1st.... Isnt that journalism 101?

I believe it is clear that African Americans are carrying the mantle of Christianity. Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. If white

Keep the division going...that’s the progressives motive, right out of “Rules for Radicals”...

Jesus wasn't crucified for insurrection against the Roman Empire. Has this man read the Bible?

Actual story in Holly Quran in Islam

Does Jesus’ skin color change His message? This is a idiotic argument. Jesus wouldn’t give it a second thought bc He died to bring ALL of us closer to God.

Wasn’t Jesus Jewish from somewhere in the Middle East? Not Norway or Africa but somewhere in between?

Politically & religiously perhaps... assuming he even existed ; but in those times there was no discrimination based on race or color. Such Differences were even appreciated & admired. THE HEBREWS REFUSED TO WORSHIP THE ROMAN GODS .

The new testament was used to enslave you. Titus 2:9 (NLT) Slaves must always obey their masters and do their best to please them. Ephesians 6:5 (NLT) Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ.

You’re so right!

Roof is moving g for thid pastor...

Dear Lord. UsefulIdiots TheGreatAwakening Trump2020Landslide

I’m not sure what Jesus’s skin tone was. He is Jewish. He also forgave them. The good news is that he rose 3 days after. And if you repent and believe and confess you also can be saved.

Thanks for the woke sermon, NPR. As usual.

Oh boy. This guy is wacko

A neck tattooed reveren. That is a new one for me.

Look at you so-called adults fighting over what color the invisible man was...pathetic. This is what's wrong with America.

Blasphemy from the pulpit.

Stop with your damned Middle Eastern fairytales.

So wrong

Time out pastor, the Jesus persona is a man made myth.

Apparently he believes Jesus Christ was a Great teacher and not Our Lord and Savior who died for our sins.

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God except God that became man. Don’t twist Gods words NPR or whoever the hell makes that comparison.

Considering the overwhelming majority of White Christians in the US support trump, they had this coming.

He was also sinless. Think on that for a while.

Remeber that time Jesus pointed a gun at a pregnant woman's belly while his disciples robber her home?

Jesus was definitely seen as a threat to the existing religious elite and politically powerful. The parable about the good Samaritan was told to answer a question about religious law. Samaritans were reviled by many beause they came from another country with another religion.

According to Green Eggs and Ham. The eggs in the time of Dr. Seuss were green. I support you NPR and 100% support BLM but Jesus is a manufactured WMD

It seems so blatantly obvious to me, so thanks for saying it!

I have not come to bring peace ( in the community) I have come to bring peace to your heart. Jesus threatened the status quo, he came w/ a *new* message, & change was resisted by the current power brokers. May God bless all those who are pure in heart & motive ❤️

Now we know. Jesus was African/Judean. Thanks for the update.

I don't find anything divisive about 'love thy neighbor' or 'do unto others ...', but OK.

Try Islam Rev. Duncan, that might suit you better.

I pray that this pastor repents and finds the Truth

I will never listen to a pastor with that on his vestments. Utter nonesense.

Read Matthew 26 please. Jesus willingly let Himself be crucified so that the Scriptures could be fulfilled and the atonement of sins could be accomplished. This “pastor” is what Jesus called a false teacher and is completely out of touch with the Word of God.

Another FAKE preacher.

Jesus was a middle eastern Jewish man killed by soldiers as requested by a blood thirsty crowd.

How does he knows if Jesus was a man of color? I would guess that the safest assumption is that Jesus looked like a mediterranean man.

Lots of racism in some of the replies.

Why do these idiots keep using religion as a gateway to equality?😂😂😂 fucking ypocrites

deadbeforered_

Correct

Jewish people are now people of color? Huh?

We should heed the word, of the great Reverend Al Sharpton, chosen to give the Eulogy at George Floyd's funeral With new corp funding, he criss-crosses the US helping guide us All good Democratic candidates Presidential candidates have bent their knee's, paying homage to him

Tell Christians Jesus wasn’t white and watch their heads explode 😂

.... Romans didn’t give a fuck about Jesus though, they couldn’t care less. It was the local Jewish leaders who sentenced him.

Jesus committed suicide. He totally could have gotten himself off that cross. He was also a fictional character. Also the Biblical god approved of slavery. Black Christians are dumb.

murdered by his own people, the government wanted to release him but they were prevented by a mob

“'For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 ESV Whoever believes in him....

Jesus was/is white. End of story.

He was a Man of color, conspired against by other men of color, because He threatened their power. The other POCs shook down society, taking money for themselves while claiming to be for the poor. When He called them on it, they killed Him. They lied in court about the charges.

LIVES MATTER and LIFE is NOT black or white.

He was an Arab, now tell me how many blacks would embrace this man today?

George Floyd is Jesus now? lol ok

“We shouldn't be surprised that white Christianity is willing to sacrifice black and brown bodies for the cause of their own personal salvation and relationship with Jesus Christ.” - Duncan Any Bible verse on that?

WTF is wrong with this people....?

Jesus didn't resist arrest

Ah, no. This photo from 1776 when Jesus founded America clearly shows he was of white American descent.

testtheworld I love this!!

khadija65838696 Everybody knows Jesus has BLUE eyes and LIGHT skin and hair. Where you been ?

I mean....

Jesus was born in an area that people are tan, brown, possibly darker but I’m not an expert on melatonin throughout the ages. Jesus was also Jewish so people like us have different traits. Should that matter? No, but many depictions are white. That’s scientifically impossible.

you know for a fact what the 'average pastor' in America does, or says, or represents? I'd be interested in seeing the exhaustive research that supports the claim to know what the 'average pastor' does or says. I'm guessing that statement is just a guess.

The bible says divisivenss is of the devil. Jesus was not divisive.

khadija65838696 Jesus was Jewish, not a man of color. SMH If you look at Jewish folks, they are pretty much white. Since Jesus walked everywhere in the sun, he could have been tanned, but he wasn't black by any means. But as usual, fake news is who you are NPR.

Jesus was divisive: A black pastor says to white Christian's. I feel like I'm going insane because that sounds like the most divisive sentence I've seen all month. Is it just me?

Jesus wasn’t a minority. He was rejected by his own people. But he was a disrupter, he bucked the status quo, he made statements that were disturbing and heretical to the leaders. The Romans took him out to appease the people and their leaders.

Amen

Godforsaken commie Bible study time!

There was a Letter from a Birmingham Jail written on the same topic.

So many Christians forget, or ignore, this.

Jesus was divisive. That's how the left describe President Trump.

Jesus didn't loot or riot

Is he SERIOUSLY comparing Jesus to George Floyd right now LMFAO! And it was the Jews that wanted Jesus dead; the Romans were fairly indifferent.. Maybe this guy needs to find a new job, because I don't think he really knows what the hell he's talking about..

Jesus was middle eastern.

It's really weird that the only people obsessed with skin color are the ones who try to claim to be against racism. Is this like that ANTIFA BS in which they are all in fact facist?

Wrong

How this story gets perverted into the prosperity gospel is fucking RACISM

The greatest evil in the history of the world is BlondeHairedBlueEyedJesus. Which is the primary symbol of WhiteSupremacy.

Indeed. And how did Jesus’s followers behave themselves? What was the m.o. of their revolution? Subversion thru selfless service and courageous truth-telling, right?

Truth

Oh FFS. Everyone knows he looked exactly like this guy.

Stupid

Seems like they all were pretty much the same color around there! Don't make Jesus all about race! All lives matter! Quit giving law enforcement a bad name!

Ahm..this pastor is an idiot. Jesus was killed because He said 'I Am'. The Jewish leaders, not Pilate, wanted Him dead. Pilate acquiesced because he was a wimp and didn't want the agitators to riot and loot the town.

I agree. Big government sucks.

Seems the Rev should ask for a refund of his tuition for Seminary. This won’t hold up well to a fact check.

America would have you believe he was white

So... Jesus would want us to burn buildings, loot businesses, and assault innocent people?

Yes. Jesus robbed and beat women. Where is that passage again.

Literally getting preached at by the left now lol

A bloated church relies more on tithing for revenue generation, which means you have to appeal to the lowest common denominator of your congregation.

Jews are people of color now? Jews murdered him. Were those Jews somehow white? Interesting how this works.

And Jesus was a man of color.🙏

Jesus didn't rob a pregnant woman at gun point.

Jesus is Good now? Got it

'White denominations need to show up, share their wealth and let people of color and street activists lead. They need to get connected to leaders on the ground and pour all their resources into bail funds and providing food and water.' Um no thanks.

492 homicides in Chicago last year. 3 involved police.

We are all “ People of Color” reverend. We also happen to be “People of a different Color.” That didn’t make the cut though, did it but go ahead with your systemic racist term.

Anyone here? Let's join here in numbers This is your most memorable broadcast

Disagree on the insurrection against the Roman Empire part

I never realized this until I read the books of prophecy on my own. Passage upon passage you’d never see Sunday morning because God forbid we get controversial and call out the rich and the people who oppress the poor

When are they going to investigate corruption within Citizencorps and Infragard? There is no oversight!!

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I don't think these lessons are the ones he's going to be teaching.

So it’s only a race issue when it’s white on black.. what about when it’s black on black ..

for all those upset in the comments, I invite you to this thread (WITH Biblical evidence) 🙂

Heretic

Ok. This is all so stupid. How do you bring people together when everyone just uses divisive language. Stop. Just fricken stop. There isn't even a God to be black or white. Nobody is in the sky going to save you, you die, you're dead. I know it's hard to accept but it's over.

BWAHAHAHA this some serious race baiting New Propaganda Report. You've really out done yourself with this one.

Oh, look! NPR has found religion.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

From fakehistoryhunt

Yup...right and wrong, good and bad.

But why did the Rev have to use Nazi iconography while doing it?

Yes, Jesus was a man of color. Even though so many depictions show him as white.

He wasn't crucified bc of his skin color though. Don't even try to make it about that. His presence caused disruptions and the Romans told the Jews they would cancel Passover celebrations if they didn't calm things down. The rest is history.

oh ffs

'In my Father's house there are many mansions.' Yet to tour any & forget that Christ's Ministry was to the poor & dispossessed, that He challenged the Pharisees & Imperial Rome, is to miss the point of His life. His offer of Salvation for ALL was nothing short of revolutionary.

Nope....his own people demanded he be killed. Pilate asked them a number of times what crime he had committed...look it up

Jesus was a rebel of that time. He questioned the religious establishment of his time and got killed by the religious people. Later, people build some fairy tale story around him to water down his original fight against establishment and religion.

So when Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but rather that a riot was beginning, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, 'I am innocent of this man’s blood; see to it yourselves.' The mob murdered Jesus. The Romans were just the means.

The reformation was apostate

People obsessed with skin color are divisive.

Christ paid so that the death penalty for the laws of man might be abated and repentance allowed. So that you might turn from your lawlessness and live un righteousness, Christ paid.

He was brown, born, and raised in the Middle East.

“Do not think that I have come to bring peace upon the earth. I have come to bring not peace but the sword. For I have come to set a man ‘against his father, a daughter against her mother...and one’s enemies will be those of his household.’” Matthew 10:34

Jesus had blue eyes, fair skin and fine flowing brown hair. I know I know he lived in the Middle East so that makes no sense but his buddies named Paul and Matthew back him up. Okay maybe no one in the Middle East ever has been named Paul especially in the BC days but still! 🤷‍♂️

Historical records seem to agree there was a person named Jesus who was famous enough to get crucified and be remembered all these years later. Everything after that is up to debate

Jesus is bullshit.

You'll really have missed so much not to join this broadcast. Welcome All

Not entirely true. Jesus was murdered by his own people considering pilate asked them repeatedly what crime he had committed. It was the jews that crucified their own savior because the pharisees were pissed. And now today: rome. Never. Died. Vatican city=rome= 50 miles of intel

You don’t just run through the Temple knocking over the scales & smashing to bits tables without consequences.

I think he is what they call a bigot and racist! The only part of god he is interested in is how much money he can make off him! You plenty of whites that do the same!

Jesus was murdered by the same people who are directing us right now

I have a pretty good tan I could pass for a man of color

Facts No Lies Found

paul had a job peter had a job luke had a job Jesus saved my worthless white as=

Jesus was white, though. I've seen pictures. (I kid.)

Why is it that all these non-believers and non-religious type always think they can weaponize Jesus against Christians? Hey NPR NEW RULE: IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD YOU DON'T GET TO TRY TO USE HIM AGAINST PEOPLE. KICK ROCKS YOU GODLESS HEATHENS GOD WANTS US TO SMITE OUR ENEMIES.

He speaks the truth, Jesus was a dark man, who spoke truth to power, to the conservatives of his day and was murdered for it.

Jesus didn’t exist and white folk beat that slave religion into the black psyche. No black person should be a Christian.

I always found it odd that black people would worship a white guy.

jesus wasn't real. he's a character in a fictional book

Jesus was not killed for the color of his skin. if you say or imply otherwise you are dishonest.

Ohhhhhhhh somebody finally said it

Muhammad had slaves so we need to ban Islam in the United States. It’s not who we are.

I’m confused by the “man of color” bit - I guess he wasn’t European, but maybe Middleastern Jewish. Right?

Does it really matter what color Jesus (pbuh) was? He is beyond color, race, and creed.
